Re: Who clears /tmp regularly

In the sentence quoted that describes IFS, "personal computer" and "UNIX" are distributive terms - the statement is equivalent to "personal computer operating systems and UNIX operating systems" but saves some space. The overall /root of the IFS definitely is not anything like QDLS and is not case-sensitive (it's more like the Windows file structure, with some "interesting" behavior at time), whereas /QOpenSys is case-sensitive to accomodate UNIX-style file systems, for example.


I think we are mostly agreeing "violently", but not always!

Another thought - IFS has been presented as a combination of Windows and Unix file systems, mixed in standards like POSIX - here's something from the PDF -

The integrated file system is a part of the IBM i operating system that supports stream input/output and storage management similar to personal computer and UNIX operating systems, while providing an integrating structure over all information stored on your system.

Definitely not Windows. Using / as a path separator is very much UNIX. :-) I think the reference to "personal computer" dates back to PC-DOS and file names with the same restrictions as QDLS.
